Love the uniform white containers. Wish our ice cream came in such pretty and useful containers. And hay, if you have to eat more ice cream in the name of stylish organization, so be it - a girl has to do what a girl has to do :-).
P.S. Not related question: Could you tell me what does "Trevlig Helg" mean? I see this phrase a lot on Scandinavian blogs.
Have a great weekend with some ice cream!

Just to echo what other have said: I wish we had ice cream here in the northeastern US that came in containers like that! Our containers are useless for anything other than holding ice cream. Believe me, I eat plenty. I'd feel a lot less guilty about it if I could reuse the containers!

Actually, I'm glad that our ice cream containers aren't this appealing or I'd consider eating ice cream again (I've recently ditched dairy). Or, I'd have to gift it to people and request the container back...which would be tacky.

Love this Benita!! I'm sure I missed a very important/obvious post that explains this, but does the new house not have a garage? This seems like classic Benita garage stuff! I'm guessing so since also your bikes are now out front. Fabulous inspiration as always!!!

I do have a garage but it's not very close to the house. In fact I haven't been there since August. I need to go get the wheelbarrel this weekened though. At the moment I keep some yard stuff there and we'll keep the bikes there once it starts to snow but it's not an everyday space for us since we don't have a car.

These icecream tubs are slightly transparent, even with the lovely labels one can still see a few inside. I don't know any icecream in Australia that come in tubs like these, for some reason they are mostly opaque.

Okay, I have a semi-random question. Have you always been a huge fan of white? My husband and I are looking at getting the ektorp sofa in white however, we are expecting a baby and I'm wondering if white is a smart choice. The cover is machine washable rather than some of the others which are dry clean only which is nice but I'm still worried. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

If you look at the nutritional breakdown of the ingredients of this ice cream it has less fat than most brands in the US. Also if I am translating correctly, skim milk is the first ingredient whereas a brand like Ben and Jerry cream is the first ingredient.

When I was a young girl I went through a pink phase that lasted for quite a few years and when I moved out on my own in the mid 80's my colors of choice were grey and yellow. When Martin and I met we had quite an eclectic mixture of furniture and mostly in earthier tones. I think my style changed to more white when we moved into a 1930' functionalist apartment when Wille was about a year old. Our old things just looked very out of place there (having moved from an older style apartment) and I when I painted the whole place white things just fell into place and I've never looked back :).

As for Ektorp in white the covers are easy to remove and wash and if you get an extra set you can switch straight away and not have a naked sofa while you're waiting for your cover to dry. When Wille was a baby I kept a quilt type blanket on the side of the sofa (which wasn't white at the time but didn't have a slip cover) where I sat with him in case he'd throw up or something. That way I'd just wash the blanket (and get a clean one out to replace the dirty one with)instead of dealing with a messy sofa. If you want the white Ektorp I would go for it!

The problem I have is, I don't have "groups" of things. I have individual, random things. I even bought some Kassett boxes, I was so inspired. But they are too big for the little bit to go in them, and if I mix together lots of random items, then it's just a mess inside, and just as disorganized, to me. Any advice?
